bbllaahh part II

After that, went to Pungol Park for TF jiao you. Jean and I reached early, so we walked around the park (it's quite small) and sat at a shelter to read and wait because it was drizzling. Eventually, the rain stopped and others arrived. Around 20+ people came cus I think quite a few were on holiday. We sang some songs, played a few quite interesting games and had some free time. Some others decided to play daiti. Andrew, Rui Quan, Jean and I went to the back of the BBQ pit place. There was an empty field there. We played "monkey" - the one where 2 ppl have to jump around to get the ball, an all time childhood favourite. We got tired and went to the middle of the field where there was a pile of small rocks. So we picked them up and started seeing who could throw the furthest. Here's how the game goes. Each take turns throwing their stone, and see who reaches the end of the field first. The winners, jean and rq. Andrew and I were lagging behind. After that bit of exercise, we went back to the pit to rest. Then, a while later, it started suddenly raining really heavily. The BBQ fire was already half way started so zhi chun and some others guarded the fire with an umbrella. The rest of us grabbed everything we could find and chionged to the nearest shelter. We were already soaking wet and the shelter didn't help cus there were some other ppl inside with not much space left. So we decided to make a move for a shelter a few hundred meters further down. Thankfully, it was emptier. Everyone looked like they just got out from a shower without drying themselves. The rain eventually stopped and we headed back. The fire was still alive, as well as the ppl there. Zhi chun is a good cook. I think if it weren't for his determination to cook, we'd have a lot of leftovers. We played with the lighter and tried touching the fire etc. I did that for the first time. At first, I was quite sure the only reason why rq could touch the flame was cus his skin was special. But then, after some persuassion, I managed to get the hang of it. Playing with fire is fun. jean was busy torturing yu xin with water that melted from the ice used to keep the sparkling juice cold. She started a melting plant and used the water to give me and yu xin some cold sprinkles, as well as an ice foot wash for yx. (jean and I were one of the few wearing shoes and socks). Then suddenly, she started stuffing ice down our backs. Yu xin was making crow-like sounds, which jean recorded to analyse to see if she was a new species.

The heavy rain and all the fun and problems after that made it was one of the most memorable jiao yous. Jean and I reached home at around 11pm. I decided to wash my shoes because I couldn't take the sight of it. Ended up sleeping at around 1am.

Sunday, church. Yu xin was sitting beside me and we were almost dozing off during sunday school. Others looked quite dead in the morning. I remained sleepy till this morning.

Now, jie ying, if you read this, go post. Remember our agreement? If I didn't forget, you couldn't have.. i hope..
